Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez said:
"You never know. Something Brighton have is experience but we did our job, and we're happy with that.
"It's always good for your fans when you can win. It's a long, long trip. I don't think I will watch the Brighton game. I will try and enjoy with the family.
"The reaction of the players, especially after the promotion, I think they were focused, especially in the second half."
